This place is as stated. The home is very cozy, clean and the neighborhood is quiet. Most importantly, it's pet friendly. They thought of everything. The home is completely stocked for whatever you would need. We were there for the weekend and it was so peaceful. It rained both days, but that was okay. They have a game room and a movie room for all ages to have fun. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Matt and Jackie for sharing your beautiful home.

Thank you for your review. I do understand you are probably upset with the fact that you were getting charged for cutting our outdoor lights even though you say it was probably an animal. We take your feedback and will try to do better.

Traveled with family. We had a quick 2 day visit, great location, granddaughters loved the game room, So easy to communicate with owner. Early spring visit, so peaceful sitting on deck listening to the birds, loved it. We didn't get to enjoy all the amenities there seems to be so many to enjoy on the grounds.

This is the best place I have ever stayed so far. It’s absolutely perfect for two or three families with kids. The area is very calm and peaceful, and the home itself is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Everything you need is provided, which makes the stay even better. The host is extremely attentive, responsive, and caring. I truly felt at home here and would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially families.

Location is great - quiet street in quiet area. As it was only the two of us, we had more than enough room. We enjoyed the games downstairs a lot!Our visit was spa related so we went back and forth to The Lodge at Woodloch but had a happy place to return to each day.
